The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Planted trees and timber daybeds line the sixth-floor outdoor pool terrace looking across the Surakarta skyline.
The spa and gym
On the sixth floor, Spa Alila offers traditional lulur scrubs and soaking baths. Next door, treadmills face floor-to-ceiling windows.
Agra Rooftop Bar & Lounge
The 29th-floor terrace serves cocktails and tapas beside open-air glass railings looking across the illuminated city.
Épice Restaurant
Intricate wooden lattice screens separate tables at this dining room, which serves traditional Javanese specialties from open kitchens.
How it began
Developed by the local Konimex Group in 2015, the staggered stone towers reinterpret classical Javanese motifs on an urban scale.
